Weight 430 g What reviewers say Reviewers agree it performs among the very best headphones, with outstanding resolution and dynamics, a better midrange than the original Susvara and good comfort. Both warn it is easily damaged if handled carelessly and that the magnetic cup covers hold weakly; Headfonia adds that it still needs a high-end amplifier to show its best.
